I don't think any of this is remotely inevitable. I doubt any of this happens in our lifetimes.

Again, the tallest building in Toronto would be the 8th tallest building in Chicago. You really think Toronto will build 10 supertalls before Chicago builds 1?

Also, Chicago's population is stagnant, not declining. Even assuming it remains stagnant forever (a dubious proposition) it would still take decades of nonstop booming growth for Toronto to match Chicago's population.
